B. Work Sequence
Upon award of the contract, work will begin on the various shop drawings and submittals required for the project.
Once the CPM schedule is approved, field work begins on both the temporary crossovers and watermain
installation. When the temporary crossover work is complete the traffic will be switched, and the bridge work will
begin on B01-1, B02-1 and B02-2, with the B02 bridges not starting until the demolition work is complete at B01-
1. As soon as B01-1 is complete, traffic will be switched to the final stage for reconstruction of B01-2.

C. Resources
The resources committed to this project will slowly ramp up starting with one crew working on the watermain
installation as well as one crew work on construction of the temporary crossovers. Once the traffic is switched,
two full bridge crews will be mobilized to work on B01-1, B02-1 and B02-2. Crews will be demobilized upon
completion of the various areas of work.

D. Work Schedule
As currently scheduled, all work is based on a standard five (5) day work week (four ten-hour days and one eight-
hour day), with Saturdays being used as makeup days to account for the required number of adverse weather
days. The holidays periods as defined in the Maintaining Traffic SP have also been included (5/28/20 – 5/30/20,
7/2/20 - 7/4/20, 9/3/20 – 9/5/20). No work is currently scheduled during the overnight hours or outside of the
normal construction season

E. Weather
See Work Schedule above. Saturdays will be used as makeup days to account for the required number of adverse
weather days.

F. Critical Path
The critical path for this project starts with submission, review and approval of the baseline schedule. Once the
schedule is approved, work will begin on the temporary crossovers required for the traffic switch. As soon as the
crossovers are complete, traffic is scheduled to be switched, and the critical path then moves to the bridge work
required at B01-1 with an estimated start of June 17, 2020 and running until the deck work is complete and traffic
is switched on August 29, 2020. Once traffic is switched, work on the B01-2 bridge is completed and Open to

 Traffic on October 11, 2020. However, the longest path continues 2 through the required 28-day cure and
concrete surface coating work which is scheduled to be complete on October 20, 2020.

G. Delays
Field work is scheduled to start late due to delays in permitting issues, so we are getting a late start but still
project to hit the Contractual Completion date of October 31, 2020. Additionally, no contingency has been added
to this baseline schedule, as any inefficiencies between the work as planned and the work as performed can be
mitigated through additional working hours or crews as needed.

H. Third Party Interfaces

Utility work is being coordinated with DTE, all dates in the schedule for utility work are currently tentative. DTE
will send us their Coordination Plan with final dates by the end of April.

I. Lags
There are no lag relationships utilized in the Baseline Schedule.

J. Additional Information
The schedule assumes an average 48-hour work week, with Saturdays and Sundays (as needed) being used to
make up the required number of adverse weather days. No contingency has been added to this baseline schedule
as any inefficiencies between the work as planned and the work as performed can be mitigated through
additional working hours or crews as needed. The production rates utilized will be provided if requested by the
Engineer.
